Helpful Tips
For the best results, use ripe avocados that blend easily. If your mousse is too thick, add a tablespoon of almond milk to reach the desired consistency. For an extra kick, you can add a pinch of chili powder or a dash of espresso powder to enhance the chocolate flavor.
Storage Instructions
Store any leftover mousse in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Before serving, give it a quick stir to restore its creamy texture.
Ingredient Substitutions
If you prefer, you can substitute maple syrup with agave syrup or honey. For a dairy-free option, ensure the dark chocolate is also vegan-friendly.
Pairings
This decadent mousse pairs beautifully with fresh berries, a dollop of whipped coconut cream, or alongside a warm cup of espresso.
